Show Notes
A father wants answers. A bare-knuckle fight falls through. And the boys have plenty to say.
Mark joins Shubz to share his account of his daughter’s time in care, serious allegations about her safety and his efforts to get authorities to act. It’s a confronting conversation about family trauma, alleged failures and the accountability he’s still seeking.
Then Dom from Avon’s Butchery gives his take on Asher Jack’s cancelled BKFC bout against Jay “Dingo” Tonkin. We discuss the fallout, communication around the event and why Dom supports Asher’s decision not to fight.
Tama Singh and David Baker join the conversation as we get into immigration, identity, political labels and accusations that someone else must be paying for your opinions. David also shares his plans to take council accountability on the road.
Plus, Shubz reacts to parents being fined over their children’s school non-enrolment.
